Good budget hotel

No complaints. Comfortable, quiet and cheap.

A night stay
Daniel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay here was mostly great considering the price. The property backs up to the freeway, so light sleepers should beware, and ask for a room toward the front of the motel if available.
Gary, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked how you have a lot of places that are just a short walk from the motel
Francisco, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Motel6 in Goleta was better than I expected. The room was very functional and somewhat updated, albeit a bit tight for two people with two beds... AC worked well and for my memories of Motel 6, the hotel (and AC) was quieter than usual. Very pleasant and helpful employees.

We are in town to pick our son up from school. One night, comfortable bed and clean room. Great price.
Rachel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Motel 6 Goleta, CA-Santa Barbara is our "go-to" motel when we visit and pick up our daughter from UCSB every year. The rates are reasonable and our room is always clean. We love the room set-up, very cozy. Beds and pillows are so comfortable! Office staff are always friendly and accommodating.
Sandra, 1-night trip

great that they serve coffee in the morning

10/10 Exceptional

Great little stop, conveniently located next to the freeway and gas stations, cvs, grocery stores and dining facilities. Not far from Downton SB and local beaches .
Daisy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Impressed with Motel 6. Simple, clean, comfy, & pretty good service. Although, at 10:30 I asked for a late check out for 11:30, which was approved. However, then I had to get out of shower because desk lady forgot she approved & was banging on my door at 11:05.
Sharon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is very convenient to where we go. School, drug store, restaurant, beach and downtown.

Clean and comfortable

Very easy check in and check out process. Hotel was quiet and clean. Good location and plenty of street parking.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I booked this room because it was close to the airport as my kids were arriving late and were taking an Uber to the motel. When I arrived, the checkin was friendly, I got the bottom floor that I wanted, the room smelled clean and was clean PLUS it had a microwave, refrigerator, shampoo, lotion, and soap! Not many Motel 6's are this diligent on customer satisfaction. Bonus... food delivery and coffee in the morning! Truly satisfied. Will be staying again soon!
Sandra, 1-night trip

I stayed at the Motel 6 Goleta and this was the best Motel 6 I've stayed at. It was in a convenient location, was clean, comfortable and had lots of potty areas for my dogs. I would definitely recommend it.

I requested a room on the first floor and received one. It also had a cute little corner dining booth.
